Installing a Rain Catchment System on your home or business goes hand
in hand with water conservation. The practices listed below can
greatly enhance your system's performance.
- Replace old fixtures and appliances with modern water-efficient versions
and repair leaks. These simple measures reduce daily water consumption
from 75 gallons per person per day to less than 50 gallons per person
per day.
- Water used to irrigate landscaping often equals or exceeds interior water
use. When considering your landscape design, use native shrubs, plants,
trees and grasses. They require much less water than non-native species.
The use of drip irrigation can reduce water consumption by 60% over conventional
watering methods. Grey water recycling is another great water conservation
practice.
